able-a spirit of parsimony which is as far
removed from economy as prudence is from
extravaganza. An instance Is furnished by
the Connecticut town Of Brooklyn 1t is the
imperishable honor of this town to have as
ISOLATED with its name the name of Israel
Putnam, the old Revolutionary hero. The
State of Connecticut has furnished, at the
expense Of $4,000. an equestrian statue of
the old hero, who always trusted In God and
kept his powder dry. But the iowa of
Brooklyn refused in town meeting to give
site for the statue and now that an indiyid-
ual has given site in Brooklyn there is UNI
stinted growing over the expenses of dedi-
eating it. Brooklyn refuses to pay the bills.
The Legislature is thinking of defraying the
expenses now. After that statue is erected
and dedicated. if it ever is dedicated, will
there be any one in Brooklyn capable of
drawing inspiration from contemplating it?
II is to be hoped that there will be respec
table minority who will; it is very evident
that the majority are too 'saying" to waste
any sentiment on the memory Of man who
shouldered Revolutionary responsibilities in
stead of putting them off on to his neighbors
Lord Salisbury's proposition in regard to
the fisheries is not satisfactory to the Toron-
to Globe, the leading organ of the Liberal
party in Canada, which characterizes it as an
"abject surrender" How the Globe can
consider the exchange Of a few fish for the
| markets of the United States "abject sur
render" on the part of Canada it is difficult
to see On the contrary. it looks like very
good trade for the Dominion and very bad
one for us. The "abject surrender would
seem to be on the part of the United States,
which would relinquish the very thing that
the fishery article of the Treaty of Washing
ton was abrogated to secure.
If the Globe is really alarmed lest the Uni
ted States will accept Lord Salisbury's pro-
| position, its fear is groundless While the
American Senate is in the hands of the Re-
| publicans treaty that proposes to open our
market to Canadian fishermen for the paltry
consideration of the privilege of fishing with
in the three mile limit will never be ratified.
| What might happen if the Democrats con-
trolled that body is another question. In the
House the great majority of them have Of
fered to put fish on the free list without any
consideration whatever, and if the free
trade wing should get the upper hand in the
| Senate Lord Salisbury's proposition might

premier" will be accepted by the United

In year from this time the record of the
Administration, on which it must go to the
country, will be finally made up. There are
already in that record, in the matter of APP
pointments and dismissals, great many
things which the best friends of the Presi-
dent cannot reconcile with his promises and
professions made before election, except by
making allowances for the difficulties he has
had to encounter from his own party.
We who believe firmly in the great super
iority OF President Cleveland to any of his
recent predecessors in his manner of using
the patronage OF the government cannot con-
ceai from ourselves, nevertheless, that 1t is
N the highest degree dangerous to enter on
the last year of his administration without
giving the public good many conspicuous
examples between now and June, 1888, OF
the kind of administration he had in mind
when he wrote his celebrated letter to Mr.
George William Curtis and others.
A good many gentlemen are in fact now
preparing for his denomination in ways
which will make it extremely difficult fol
civil service reformers to go to the polls fol
him with the alacrity they displayed in 1884
Numerous dlsmissals have been made or are
being made which are just as bad, from
every point of view, moral, political and adj
minlstratlye, as any that occurred under
Grant or Garfield, or would have occurred un
der Blaine. This downward course must be ar
rested II we are to have 1884 over again. Nc
man who has ever sat in the Presidenti3
chalr since Jackson's day can less well al
ford to go before the American people for re-
election with such record as President
Cleveland is now allowing some of his 0ffic
ial followers to make up for him.

Like the business men of Bath, the steam
boat men of the West are reviying hope as
the effects of the interstate commerce law
begin to be apparent Twenty years ago the
steamboat interest on the Western rivers be-
gan to decline; but according to the Marine
Journal, no such inroads into its prosperity
have been made for almost previous de-
cade as during the last two or three years.
Last fall the owners Of steamboats, were in
the slough of.despond. The railroads within
single period of ninety days reduced the
river service centering at New Orleans about
sixty-six per cent. 1t is no wonder that any
measure of relief is hailed with delight. Per
haps the men interested may be pardoned il
they see visions OF large and elegant steam
ers, such as once carried daily loads of pas
sengers to and from every city on the Ohio
and the Mississippi. But such dreams are
folly. The railroads drove the steamers to
the wall because they could serve the great
industrial interests Of the country better
and any law that will disturb this natural
equilibrium of commercei is sure to be mod
fed or repealed.
